  • Hello,

    This is a teardown for a cheap garage door controller device bought on Aliexpress. It has a BK7231T / WB2S chip.
    It requires soldering to flash OpenBK.

    Box of Moes Wi-Fi garage door opener. Box containing a cheap garage door controller purchased from Aliexpress.

    Info Summary:
    Model/SKU from Box: MS-102
    Model/Revision from the Board: HG041-20211220
    Chip: BK7231T / WB2S
    Rated Voltage: 90V-250V
    Relays Qty: 1
    Binary sensor: 1
    Buttons: 1
    MCU/Firmware Version: unknown

    I use it for a Sommer Duo Vision 500 having a single open/stop/close button.

    Garage door controller mounted on the wall next to the drive unit. Installation of wires on the garage door frame.

    1. Open the case
    First open the plastic case. It has 4 clips, two on each side.

    2. Solder wires
    I'm not proud of my work, but it demonstrates it's doable by someone who only did soldering at highschool.
    You need to solder rx, tx, +3.3 and gnd on the following pins. According to WB2S datasheet, the pin numbers we are looking for are :

    1VBATPower supply pin (3.3 V), which is connected to the VBAT pin on the internal IC
    3GNDPower supply reference ground pin
    51RXUART1_RXD, which is used as a user-side serial interface pin and is connected to the P10 pin on the internal IC
    71TXUART1_TXD, which is used as a user-side serial interface pin and is connected to the P11 pin on the internal IC

    3. Flash
    Be sure to use a 3.3V alimentation and proceed to flashing. Follow up to date instructions from openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App Github page.
    As of today, the recommended procedure is to use the GUI flash tool.
    I had to use a computer running Windows because the Linux version failed to flash and I didn't found a workaround.

    4. Configure
    Connect to the "Open_BenkenXxxxx" SSID Network and open your browser to http://192.168.4.1.

    In Config > Configure Module, set the following pinout:
    P6 (PWM0)Btn10
    P7 (PWM1)WifiLED
    P24 (PWM4)Rel0
    P26 (PWM5)dInput_NoPullUp_n


    In Config > Change Startup Command, set the following command:
    backlog setChannelType 1 OpenClosed_Inv; SetChannelLabel 0 Button; SetChannelLabel 1 Sensor; addChangeHandler ChannelButton != 0 addRepeatingEvent 0.5 1 setChannel 0 0

    Explanation:
    backlog: let us write one line with a bunch of commands
    setChannelType 1 OpenClosed_Inv
    SetChannelLabel 0 Button
    SetChannelLabel 1 Sensor
    addChangeHandler ChannelButton != 0 addRepeatingEvent 0.5 1 setChannel 0 0 : simulate a stateless button, each time the button is activated, it is deactivated 0.5s later

    Finally, restart the device.
